Action for climate
Climate change is widely considered to be a significant threat to future world economic growth and prosperity. It will impact us all regardless
of national borders. At the same time, it is often the most vulnerable and weakest in society that will be impacted the most. The global challenge of climate change requires that we all take responsibility to combat climate change and its consequences.
Through our companies, we wish to contribute to the 1,5 Celsius target
set by the Paris agreement. It is also clear to us that action towards
climate change mitigation and adaptation can have financial benefits.
To create sustainable growth and manage resources responsibly, we also depend on a sustainable environmental development. Companies that do not take climate change into their development plans will potentially end up as less competitive, with unprofitable business models, and with opera- tional disturbances related to emissions and costs of taxes and regulations.
Companies can contribute positively by developing solutions that provide the customers with the opportunity to make “good” climate choices, and by taking action to embrace the business opportunities provided by the transition to a low emission economy.
